The Fargo Motor Corporation was formed by Chrysler in 1928 to produce trucks for its DeSoto and Plymouth product lines. At about the same time, Chrysler was in the process of buying Dodge Brothers, which also built light-duty and heavier commercial trucks under the Graham Brothers name. Once the companies merged, there was no need to produce multiple truck lines, so the Graham Brothers name was phased out in favor of the Dodge name, while Dodge and Fargo brands continued. During the war, both divisions continued to produce heavy haul trucks and lighter civilian trucks that were sold as military-use vehicles to the U.S. government as well as our allies.

This 1941 Fargo is essentially identical to its Dodge sister with simple badge changes. It has undergone an extensive concours-level restoration to arguably be the very best in the world. The powertrain consists of a 201 cubic-inch inline six-cylinder L-head engine that is rated at 82 horsepower, which is mated to a three-speed manual transmission. The cream leather interior has black rubber floor mats and is likely better than the factory could have produced. An oak bed floor is accented with matching box rails. Firestone wide whitewall bias-ply tires are mounted on painted steel wheels with chrome covers. The body fit and finish is perfection. Rounding off the fine details are a pair of bumper-mounted foglamps. Another 1941 Fargo in this exemplary condition most likely does not exist.
